That Idea Blueprint Girl

by Megan M. on July 10, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

Brooke Thomas sent me a note not long ago letting me know that she was organizing a graduation gift to commemorate the end of Seth Godin’s Alternative MBA program: For Seth, from the almost-Alternative-MBAs. That is, those of us who submitted an application but didn’t make it into the program!

This was a bizarre coincidence, because [...]

The Republic of Tea (Beginnings)

by Megan M. on January 15, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

Just like the last one, I was only ten pages in before I started saying Whoa.

I define “fundamental change” as a society where every individual comes to accept every social problem as a problem of his own making, and sees the wisdom of changing himself (into a happier and compassionate human being) as his way [...]

Megans Against Overviews

by Megan M. on January 2, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

Overviews are too often uninteresting, colorless glossings-over—at least when I write them. It’s a shame, because the only times I feel driven to write an overview are the times I’ve experienced something really worth sharing (and been too long in actually sharing it). But if I’ve experienced something really worth sharing… doesn’t it deserve better [...]

Educational Impatience (or, Books as Snack Food)

by Megan M. on December 31, 2008 · View Comments (Blog) |

Last week I ordered an insane number of books. (People who sent me Amazon gift certificates for Christmas: YOU WIN. People who are noodling over what to send me: That would be your subtle hint…) I’m long overdue for some gorgeous hardcore reading, and I have not a few fantastic reasons to ramp up my [...]

Obliged to Push, to Change, to Grow

by Megan M. on December 18, 2008 · View Comments (Blog) |

Ironically, these days I seem to be all about obligation.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m totally anti-obligation when it comes to the little unnecessary things we put on ourselves, trap ourselves into, or let rule our lives. I have to, I need to, I’d better. It’s been hard for me to balance that dissatisfaction with my [...]

Alternative MBA; the Word, as they say, is In

by Megan M. on December 17, 2008 · View Comments (Blog) |

I’m done with my planes for the day, and the word is in: I’m free for brilliant things in the next six months! (In unambiguous terms, no, I didn’t get chosen for the !MBA. And that’s completely okay.)
